![]() It's mostly been forgotten but since many things have changed since it came out this film is definitely is easy to find. It's another interesting movie to check out and while it's not Studio Ghibli's best but it's still worth checking out especially if you are a fan of anime or of Studio Ghibli in general. Many think that this is because it was a made for TV movie, and never appeared in theaters back in the day.Īnd like Grave of the Fireflies, this film doesn't have a celebrity cast and instead uses actors who are more for TV than feature films. It wasn't until it was re-released in 2016 that it got a lot of attention. Yutaka the best friend of our lead can be pretty unlikable at times.Īnd like Only Yesterday, this film never got much attention back in the day as most Studio Ghibli films. The only shortcomings is that this film can be a bit boring every now and then, thanks to the lack of action and conflict. Shigeru Nagata's score is constant and is a part of the heart and soul of the series overall. Even though they're very simple, they still look very appealing and pretty. The art style and character designs are very appealing. As to be excepted from most Ghibli movies. There's lots of quiet, slow, comtemplative scenes which helps to build on and further explore the characters and their relationships. Like other Studio Ghibli projects, this film is a master of visual storytelling. You want both the romantic relationship to take flight and for the friendship to remain, and you'll be sad if either one ends. It makes it really difficult to decide what you want to happen. All three of the main characters are incredibly likable, interesting, complex, and relatable. In other words, a love triangle between two close male friends and a new girl. The film has an engaging story about young love and friendship, and how those two can occasionally collide with each other. ![]() So already this feels a lot like Only Yesterday only it deals about romance and that our hero is a young man this time around.Īs to be expected this movies has definitely have some outstanding qualities since it is a Studio Ghibli movie after all. While journeying to from Tokyo to his old high school for a reunion with his old classmates, Taku Morisaki recounts his memories of his days at his high school, particularly on a love triangle that developed between him and two of his friends, Yutaka Matsuno and Rikako Muto. So for the month of May, or Ani-May, this another one I had to look over. But that's usually a good thing and this movie also like Only Yesterday was a movie that was released in Japan but took forever to get a U.S. Yep, it's another Ghibli movie without the magic touch by Hayao Miyazaki. ![]() Ocean Waves, also known as I Can Hear the Sea, is a 1993 dramatic, romantic coming of age Japanese anime film made by Studio Ghibli, and directed by Tomomi Mochizuki, with a musical score composed by Shigeru Nagata. ![]() Makes me want to watch this by real ocean waves. ![]()
